the problem that libya has always had is after gadhafi fell, all of these militias that have been running around the country never disarmed. and some of these militias are affiliated with al qaeda and one of these militias decided to carry out an attack against the consulate. now there does seem to be some tentative moves by the government and also just by the people of benghazi, to disarm some of these militias to try to disband them. if that's successful, and libya can findly move on from its revolutionary phase and become a normal government, then i think libya can have a very positive future. small country, big country but small population. lots of oil it has a lot of things going for it it just needs to disarm and start behaving a little better. >> richard engel in afghanistan for us this morning. can you watch more of richard's reporting along with our nbc news team reporting from the region all week long. katty kay, a lot of questions about this debate, this administration's handling of what is still in part a chaotic middle east transitioning. >> on the issue of libbia i'm not sur

the libyan city america helped free from the oppressive regime of moammar gadhafi. chris stevens was among the americans killed after protesters stormed the embassy last night. demonstrators also swarmed the u.s. embassy in cairo, scaling the walls and tearing apart the american flag. the attacks are believed to be in reaction to a obscure movie film in the u.s. by an israeli citizen one that ridicules islam and the prophet mohammed. today, flags at the capitol have been lowered to half mast and the president spoke earlier in the rose garden addressing the tragedy. >> the united states condemns in the strongest terms this outrageous and shocking attack. since our founding, the united states has been a nation that respects all faiths. we reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. but there is absolutely no justification to this type of senseless violence. none. >> not content to sit on the sidelines at a critical moment in his presidential campaign, governor mitt romney plunged himself into the middle of this developing crisis, sharply criticizi
